Are you aware that Nosler sells blemished bullets online? They guarantee the blemishes to be strictly cosmetic with no difference in performance. I just ordered some 30 cal AB's in 165 gr, for $20.20/box. I've had very good luck with blems in the past. Of course they don't have all of their products all the time. They sell them as they have them so if they don't have what you want, keep checking back. They've had AB's in 180 gr all winter but just added the 165 gr. I've been wanting to try them out.

Have bought and shot a bunch. Can't tell any difference in how they shoot.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

Shhhhooshhhh. Nosler seconds are great!! Shoot just as good as firsts. They are purely cosmetic. Sometimes they may have a cannelure but mostly they are just discolored.

I thought you hated AccuBonds and vowed to never use them on game again. Have you changed your mind, or did you buy them for target shooting?

I've heard that they beefed them up. They're the most accurate bullets I've ever shot so I thought I'd give them another chance. I was underwhelmed with the meat damage from them before so we'll see.

I have found the biggest blemish in the blemished runs are they do not have a uniform weight consistency . So I weigh them and group them in clusters of similar weights.

I had ordered my buddy some .25 caliber crap, just before I saw the code come around-figures. I have shot hundreds of Nosler blems from SPS and I have not had one issue. I use nothing but the 160 Partition in my 7 mag and it shoots them 1/2 moa. The 140 Ab shoots that well also. I have shot the blems in .308 and 6 mm also, with no complaints.

From Lock Stock and Barrel in 2004 I got blemished bullets in 80 pounds boxes, the heaviest UPS would ship.
Hundreds of pounds of bullets, and few got shot.
Blemished bullets was just another excuse for hoarding.... especially the 160 pounds of 350 gr soft point .458 Hornady.... I have not shot one bullet yet.
